After AutoCad, that had LISP, where you could write some simple code and get some useful tailored tools that helped your efficiency, I find Revit tailoring a lot more difficult. It is more sophisticated and so programatically there are more challenges, so the code needs to be a bit more complex, but some simple Keyboard Shortcuts to change colours\/linetypes to your personal pre-sets would be handy. I personally like Keyboard shortcuts as I don’t have to move the mouse from its location in the model space to get something from a pulldown menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve used the PyRevit Add-in for a while, the Pattern app I found really good on a project i was working on, I used it for a tile layout and loved it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I’ve made a couple of attempts to go through Ehsan Iran-Nejad’s PyRevit tutorials but was a bit blown away by them, only getting as far as t2nd tutorial. This time I perservered and also didn’t skip through them as I normally do. I am really impressed with the thought that has gone into this tool and just how adaptable it is. I highly recomment you watch the videos in the order that he has created them. He has a bit of a halting style but if you listen to what he is saying (I couldn’t grasp some of the issues the first couple of times I watched the videos<\/em>) You’ll be richly rewarded with a comprehensive overview of both the Python, Revit, Revit API and coding methods that , this time around for me, make such a lot of sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n <\/head> \n
